Tropical Storm Hannah (1950)

Tropical Storm Hannah, also known as the Great Arkansas Derecho of 1950, was the 8th named storm of the 1950 Hurricane Season.

History
In early September of 1950, the National Weather Service began to track a storm system that gathered enough strength to be placed on the invest list as Invest 1950-14E (13E failed to develop any further). As the storm moved into the Straits of Florida, 14E became Tropical Storm Hannah for mere hours before weakening. Tropical Depression Hannah made landfall over Louisiana and weakened into a low pressure system. A band of storms on the low pressure system's outer arm intensified into a Derecho with winds in the higher Category 1 range at 92 MPH. While Hannah took no lives, the Derecho spawned by it's remnants killed 4 due to an EF-2 tornado that was spun up in an area of the storm.
